Beside him stood Furie, Andrew Ogden's queer visitor on the day of Og- den’s murder. Furie admits he discovered an immensely rich vein in the Ogden mine, that Ogden refused him a share in it, but hystericaily denies kill- ing Ogden. Peebles is star by Furie's mention of conve tion with “Bull” and “Nap.” Chapter 24 REALITIES AND NIGHTMARE Furie's eyes were crafty as he considered my excited question as to “Bull” and “Nap.” “Nothin’,” he mumbled. “Nothin | but foolery!

B [ “BLONDE OR BRUNETTE" || | AT COLISEUM SUNDAY | = “One found happiness in “harp-' ing,” the other in harps; one en- joyed tea, the other, TNT; one was blonde, the other brunette. Which doesn’t exactly explain why gentlemen adore golden curls more than they do dark tresses (and this is necessarily open to argu- ment) but does give an insight into the characters of the leading wom- en in Adolphe Menjou's current Paramount starring vehicle, “Blonde or Brunette,” which arrives at the Coliseurh Sunday. 4 That lovely Norse eauty, Greta Nissen, is the party of the first part; Arlette Marchal, one of France's fairest, the second; and Menjou, America’s own, has a hard time showing any preference. At least it takes three marriages and two divorces for him to determine who is who and which is which. The deft directorial touches of Richard Rosson are at all times in evidence. “Blonde or Brurette” is merely the record of a gentleman who looked for an “old fashioned girl,” found her, and then discovered that Paris had worked a change. Then he divorced the first and married f real Victorian who liked nothing better than to stay at home and play the harp. What was he to do?

The children arent here.” * “Where are they?” “I don't know. They left the place just after I got here yester- day afternoon. Neither of them saw me. They were gone before I could stop them.” Henry gave a short laugh. “Why did you do this fool thing, John?” I looked at him seriously. “You know why I did it, Henry.

The letter acknowledges receipt of Senate Joint Memoial No. 7, passed by the recent Alaska Legislature ask- ing that commercial canning of salmon be permitted to the resi- dents in the Yukon River area. A similar memorial was passed in 1927 by the Legislature and at that time the Commissioner drew attention to the law regarding the matter. Requote the Law In his present communication, Mr. O'Malley requotes the law as follows: “Sec. 4. That it shall be unlaw- ful to fish for, take or kill any sal- mon of any species or by any means except by hand rod, spear, or gaff in any of the creeks, streams or rivers of Alaska; or within 500 yards of the mouth of any such creek, stream or river over which the United States has Jjurisdiction, excepting the Karluk and Ugashik Rivers; Provided, that nothing contained herein shall pre- vent the taking of fish for local food requirements or for use as dog feed.” The authority given the Secre- tary of Commerce, the Commis- sioner added, specifically is lim- ited and does not Include the right to allow ishing in any creek, stream, river or other bodies of water in which fishing is pro- hibited by the specific provisions of the Fisheies Law. “It is there- fore clear that the Secretary of Commerce has no authority to per- mit fishing in the Yukon River except for local food requirements and for use as dog feed,” he said. Points To Investigation Continuing, Mr. O'Malley’s letter said: “Furthermore, it will be recalled that for a number of years past, and particularly during the time that a salmon cannery was in oper- ation near the mouth of the Yukon River, active propaganda was car- ried on in behalf of the natives and white residents of the Yukon Val- ley to stop all commercjal fishing in order to provide for local needs for human food and dog feed. It was then brought out that the run of salmon in the Yukon River was not large in comparison with the size of the river and considering the great extent of the spawning area, it was also shown that there was a great variation from year to year in the size of the runs. “Therefore, even if it were pos- sible to modify the restrictions now in effect, the Bureau would not feel that it could recommend the taking of any such action as requested in this memorial.” [0 Bread and Butter Cucum- ber Pickles Fanning’s Old Fashioned Recipe .
